wow, 3.5 years since i posted this. i haven't been in here in a while.
i moved to vegas with my pal loki and my gf and her cat augie. we never all lived together so we had no idea how it would go. here are some pics from the trip out to vegas (the 3 of us drove, the cat would come later):
here he is about to eat steak and eggs from denny's in a hotel in kansas city:
when augie finally came out, there were a lot of standoffs, hissing, etc. pretty much all one way, as loki gets along with everyone and everything.
but i was pleased with the eventual progress. probably took a good couple months.
loki with santa last year
here's loki letting some air out of a patriots football on the day of the super bowl, shh don't tell:
vegas baby
loki died in april. last december he was acting a little strangely so i took him to the vet and it turns out he very likely had hemangiosarcoma. prognosis was not good but the vet didn't know if he would live a month, 6 months, or anywhere in between. we talked about options, surgery, etc. but it seemed like the best thing to do was just focus on quality of life and make sure he didn't suffer. i got some meds to help with some stuff and he ended up living another 4 months, and quality months too. there was a dropoff in energy but he was for the most part his old playful happy self. of course sometimes he'd just have a bad day where he did almost nothing, moped around, and it really sucked. those days were rare at first, but became more frequent near the end. in late april i knew it was time.
that was probably the hardest decision i've ever had to make in my life, which maybe tells you something about how easy my life has been, but whatever. it sucked. i didn't want to leave that room for the longest time. he was my first and only dog, and my best buddy. i miss him a lot, still. i'm not sure why i checked out the lounge today, but i did and saw this thread, and figured i would post some stuff.
miss you buddy
